OAU SU: Budget Sitting Set To Hold Tommorow

The Budgetary and Finance committee, Great Ife Students
Union has finally submitted the 75-page
budget for this parliament year
to the Students Representative Council. The budget which has been fully
reviewed contains the budget of all Union Councils (Hall Executive Council,
Judicial Council & Central Executive Council), Committees (Select Committee,
Submit Committee & Budgetary and
Finance Committee) and Commission (Transport Management Commission),
comprising 58 offices.

In an extensive interview with the Chairman, Budgetary and Finance Committee, Hon. Oladebo Akinwale , He said the committee
though faced with some complications due to the political atmosphere has tried
their best to ensure accountability and transparency. He explained the budget
sitting was late due to the fact that the committee was not constituted early
enough as there was no immediate outgoing SRC members, therefore a
responsibility of the current parliament to appoint members of the committee.

Speaking further on
the budget of the Vice President and President which was not fully reviewed,he
explained that the budget of the office of Vice President could not be reviewed
due to the clash between the Vice President (Jacob Tosin) and Director of
Socials( Adedayo Emmanuel) . The Vice President could not appear before the
committee for her presentation before the suspension given to her and the
Director of Socials. However , the budget of the office of Director of Socials has been
reviewed weeks before the suspension.. The Office of the President’s budget
according to him could not be fully reviewed due to the pandemonium between the
Students Union President(Oyekan Ibukun) and a member of the committee(Hon.
Koye-Ladele Mofehintoluwa).

He ended by thanking all the committee members starting
from the Secretary(Hon. Chukwuka Maryann) and other (Hon. Temikel, Hon. Pchaun, Hon.
Koye, Hon. TM and Hon. Lekan.)

The final ratification of the budget has been scheduled to
hold tomorrow, October 14,2017 at Awo Café by 10am.
